The temperature during this National Day holiday is like a roller coaster ride, from nearly 40℃ at the beginning to around 14℃ in the past few days. The temperature dropped sharply, causing a fatal and dangerous disease - the high incidence of aortic dissection . Six days before the National Day holiday, the Department of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery of Nanjing Gulou Hospital alone received 11 patients with aortic dissection. So, who are prone to aortic dissection? How should we prevent it?

, attending physician of the Department of Cardiac Thoracic Surgery of Nanjing Gulou Hospital, said: "Generally speaking, our blood vessels have three layers, and the innermost layer is called endometrium . When the endometrium ruptures, blood will surge into the middle of our blood vessels to separate the three layers of our aorta, forming a true cavity and a false cavity. At this time, the blood is constantly impacting our broken blood vessels. When the blood vessels further rupture, it will change from a dissection state to a completely ruptured state. At this time, the patient will experience a lot of hemorrhagic shock and even die."

is divided into type A, B and non-A, non-B according to factors such as the disease site of the dissection. Among them, the mortality rate of patients with type A aortic dissection within 48 hours was as high as 50%. Once the dissection ruptures, the patient may die suddenly at any time. During the six days of the National Day holiday, the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery of Nanjing Gulou Hospital admitted a total of 11 patients with aortic dissection, including 8 types A and 3 types B.

Jin Min said: "Most patients induced vascular rupture due to hypertension , forming a dissection. Of course, there are also a few patients not for this reason. They may be due to vascular endothelial damage caused by long-term high fat or smoking." Dr.

said that more than 70% of acute aortic dissection is closely related to hypertension. Sharp changes in temperature can easily lead to increased blood pressure and increase the possibility of blood vessel rupture.

Jin Min said: "The most common one is sudden, unrelieved, severe chest pain . Some people may have back pain or chest tightness . Some patients also have abdominal pain. First of all, we must monitor blood pressure to ensure that the blood pressure remains in a relatively normal range; secondly, we should use our medicine well and fully. When blood pressure may change, we must adjust our medication in time."

In recent years, patients with aortic dissection in my country have become younger. Doctors remind young people to develop good eating habits, control their weight, maintain regular daily routines, and strengthen daily exercise. These are very important for preventing acute aortic dissection.
